Why the Nolan hate?

Alright Holla Forums, I've got to say this. I don't get why most people here hate Christopher Nolan so much. Sure, his stuff is a little overrated and he likes to act as if he's making Kubrick-tier films, but Nolan still does a really good job in his field. The Dark Knight trilogy is vastly superior to most superhero films and even the majority of Hollywood blockbusters in the last decade. You can't say to me with a straight face that something like Inception is 2deep4u when shit like Prometheus is out there, or that TDK Rises is schlock when compared to Man of Murder or The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It's not highbrow kino, but it's also not Michael Bay pig slop either. For fuck's sake, Nolan doesn't get anywhere near the amount of praise most people here act like he does. You know who gets their dick sucked relentlessly despite making overrated garbage? Joss Whedon. That fedora tipper is worshiped like a god irl, while Nolan only gets passing praise. Nolan's movies have their rough patches, sometimes dialogue comes out worse than on script, and TDK Rises was weak due to Heath Ledger dying, but he still does a stellar job in spite of that. Directors can't make good trilogies while anticipating losing their top talent. That's why Empire ended the way it did and Jedi suffered tying up the loose ends, since they thought the main stars weren't going to be there for the last movie.

I just want to end it with this. In a world of Abrams, Whedon, Kurtzman and Orci, Fieg, and Snyder, is it really fair to bust Nolan's balls so hard when his worst is nothing compared to those hacks?

I don't like capeshit, but if I had to choose, captain america first avenger is still better than any dark knight flick.

They're both gay.

Don't make fun out of Michael Bay. Outside Transformers sequels, he's a quite competent action flick director with a lot of unique styles. He also has more Criterion releases than Nolan.

They're shit directors. Nolan is just mediocre. End of story.

His work really speaks to me as an insufferable normie who has the philosophical depth of a tweet by Niel DeGrasse Tyson and the taste of a rootless cosmopolitan who likes to wear scarves.

No one has ever claimed inception is 2deep4u.

Nolan is really good at taking his "vision" and not having it completely raped by studios. He's a good filmmaker that is able to bridge studios and "indie" shit.
Following is hard-noir short, and it's great.
Memento is one of the greatest films in the past two decades, easily.
TDK trilogy is the best capeshit series, which isn't saying much, but they're a great display of his talent and ability to bring his sort of "independent" feel to big blockbusters.
Interstellar was great, although not for the hard sci-fi fan, it was superb mainstream sci-fi.

I don't believe anyone hates Nolan, I think people want his films to be deeper than they strive to be. Which, really, aren't deep at all. His films are very upfront and straight forward entertainment, and work primarily in emotions, while having that sort of "independent" production feel. As in, don't have the feeling of studios shitting all over it.

Please, user, stop this.

That's kino post you made, user.

Is this thread kino?

Come on now, you weren't around when The Dark Knight and Inception came out? I've had people telling me the Dark Knight might be the best movie of all time.

Well it's not. I've yet to see a Nolan film that doesn't lack tempo and is utterly autistic in the sense that he has to have "realism" in every single detail. You don't have to explain everything, he's a hack, a mediocre filmmaker.

Fuck, Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight is so fucking overrated to the point where he has this like god-status amongst youngsters and millenials, it's bs. Hadn't he been such a loser and kill himself over taking drugs, nobody would praise this like it was a thing. The movie stinks, it's not a good movie even.

Nolan is competent but bland as shit.

there is nothing wrong with prometheus

Dear OP,

People are never satisfied.

When Tim Burton made the "original" Batman & Batman Returns, they liked it, but it was very dark and really went far from the 1966 series and most of the comic books.
Then Joel Schumacher made the 3rd and 4th installment, which were more like the Adam West series and the comic books, and guess what, people hated it. Why? Because they were not like Burton's two.

Now, Nolan made movies that were like Burton's, except even more grounded in reality, lacking anything supernatural (Catwoman's 9 lives, for example). The first 2 Nolan-Batmans were praised, while the 3rd wasn't, because by then, the viewers got tired of the darkness.

Now, they are bashing Uncle Chris in retrospect, because his movies are too dark.

See the pattern here?
